A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 1073 caregivers (response rate of 89.5%) from 15 medium to large disability welfare institutions in this study. This study specifically developed a scale to examine objective (10 question items) and subjective knowledge (one question item) of LBP and its coping behaviors (10 question items). The mean score of objective knowledge of LBP was 7.15 (range of 0–10; over 70% correct). A total of 54.2% of respondents expressed that they had a low level of subjective knowledge of LBP, and 45.8% or respondents had a high level. The study also found that many objective knowledge items need to be improved in future health promotion initiatives regarding LBP. Without adjusting for other factors, the study indicated that those caregivers with more subjective LBP knowledge were more likely to adopt higher levels of LBP coping behaviors than their counterparts (OR = 1.536, 95% CI = 1.152–2.046). After adjusting for demographics, working conditions and health status factors, LBP knowledge was not statistically correlated with LBP coping behaviors. Caregivers who worked more days per week (OR = 1.984, 95% CI = 1.408–2.795), had break time on duty (OR = 2.457, 95% CI = 1.5–4.025), exercised regularly (OR = 1.594, 95% CI = 1.115–2.28), had poor health status (OR = 0.497, 95% CI = 0.249–0.995), or had a history of LBP (OR = 1.433, 95% CI = 1.008–2.039) were more likely to adopt higher levels of coping behaviors than their counterparts. This study highlights that institutional managers should pay attention to factors that influence LBP coping behaviors in caregivers, and future studies should examine the effects of the characteristics of care recipients and caregivers’ families on caregivers’ perception of LBP.

The interference of low back pain on everyday functions of life in care workers for persons with intellectual, autistic, and associated multiple disabilities: The Brief Pain Inventory short form (BPI-SF) survey / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-6 (June 2014)

CHU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.692-700 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disability  Autism  Low back pain  Life interference  FACES pain rating scale  BPI-SF Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Low back pain is a critical public health problem; this condition significantly affects the quality of life and has a major socioeconomic impact. The present study aimed to investigate the interference of low back pain with everyday functions of life in disability care workers, and to examine the influencing factors of the interference, such as workers’ demographic, lifestyle habits, self-reported health status, working conditions and previous pain experience. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory – Short Form were used to identify the pain severity and life interference of 677 participants who had experienced low back pain conditions in the previous year. The results indicated that the mean score of the pain severity was 3.78 ± 1.82, 78.9% subjects experienced mild pain (score 2–4), 13.7% subjects experienced moderate pain, and 5.3% subjects experienced severe pain. More than twenty percent of the respondents reported that low back pain moderately or severely interfered with their daily functions. Many working conditions and pain experienced significantly correlated with the score of pain interference in the care workers after controlling for factors of healthy lifestyle and health status (R2 = 41.7%). These findings may garner attention from health welfare authorities and lead to improvements in health promotion initiatives to prevent low back pain from interfering with the daily activities of care workers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated disabilities.
